Kristina - I don't know exactly when BBM4 will be announced, but I believe it will take place after Christmas sometime. As soon as I see the announcement, I'll post word on my blog. I'm sure Nic and Samantha will also announce it on their blogs.

I got my package today. I had ? send it to MI cause it was cheaper. I have NO clue who sent it to me though, she didnt tell me her blog name. I guess I'll go look on the list and see if I can figure it out.

I sent my package on the 12th November; it should have reached my swap partner in a couple of weeks at the latest. Now 3 have passed and I haven't received any news, yet. Did you hear anything from my partner?
